Oh, the irony of life. The world celebrates things that brings tears to God. And God celebrates what the world can’t understand. Sure, there are some things that the world sees as good that God does, but it refuses to give Him the credit. Serving God brings joy the world can never know. And that kind of joy can never be taken away. Now that’s something worth pursuing, isn’t it?
20 I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to Me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy.21 It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world.22 So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.
John 16:20-22
